2. In August of 2014, 32 years after its founding, Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR) became Engaging Schools. We made this change to better represent our current mission. Engaging Schools collaborates with educators to create school communities where each and every student develops the skills and mindsets needed to succeed and make positive contributions in school, work, and life. We help them create a schoolwide community of learning that integrates academic, social, and emotional development — and prepares each and every student to succeed.
We offer professional development and resources with practical strategies that are grounded in the values of equity, community, and democracy. The result: educators who can better engage their students — and students who are prepared to make positive contributions in school, work, and life.
